http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Huckabee_Amend_Constitution_to_meet_Gods_0115.html Huckabee: Amend Constitution to be in 'God's standards' David Edwards and Muriel Kane The United States Constitution never uses the word God or makes mention of any religion, drawing its sole authority from We the People. However, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee thinks it's time to put an end to that. I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution, Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that's what we need to do -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view. When Willie Geist reported Huckabee's opinion on MSNBC's Morning Joe,co-host Mika Brzezinski was almost speechless, and even Joe Scarborough couldn't immediately find much to say beyond calling it interesting, Scarborough finally suggested that while he believes evangelicals should be able to talk politics ... some might find that statement very troubling, that we're going to change the Constitution to be in line with the Bible. And that's all I'm going to say. Geist further noted of Huckabee that if someone without his charm, said that, he'd be dismissed as a crackpot, but he's Mike Huckabee and he's bascially the front-runner. -- William T Goodall Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web : http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk Blog : http://radio.weblogs.com/0111221/ Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. ~Voltaire. ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Re: US Doomed
Yeah, but Americans are always trying to make changes to and end run around the Constitution, because something in it (or not in it) annoys them. Look at things like free speech restrictions on college campuses or the hue and cry every time some defendant's case is dismissed because of a bad search. And it's Huckabee, for chrissakes. This is a guy who doesn't believe in evolution. Should any of us be surprised that he wants to put his God, not just God, but his, into the Constitution. It is no accident that the 'establishment clause' is the very first thing mentioned in the very first article of the Bill of Rights -- David Saperstein john On Jan 15, 2008 5:47 PM, David Hobby [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: John Garcia wrote: Amending the Constitution is not as easy as Huckabee may wish, (pun intended) Gracias a Dios.

You can star or label things so that they are easy to find and the search feature is the best there is (understandably.) I imagine that I'll delete stuff in some of my labels (commercial, political, news) while keeping the stuff in others (brin-l, culture, friends and family). I'm pretty happy with the way its working so far. Over the last two days I got 34 spam messages 31 of which were intercepted by the spam filter and _none_ of the filtered messages were legit. The filtering isn't working perfectly; sometimes even when a message is labeled it doesn't get filtered, but it's very easy to manage the few that get left in the inbox.
